Obviously, of course, a client would never _cheat_ or lie about an event. No, no, no. We can totally trust them.

You could try a hypertree https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperbolic_tree but that's usually for acyclic data.

I find the killer feature to be the ability to pause games. Sure, I could do that on my PC, but since this whole Deck is dedicated to just running the game, and I can set it aside, do the thing I need to do (maybe on my PC) and come back an

There's always Wrigley's that went from offering gum as an incentive to buy soap to just selling the gum... "Make something people want" > In 1891, 29-year-old William Wrigley Jr. (1861–1932) came to Chicago from Phil

I'm a big fan of Loreo stereo lenses. They're well made and inexpensive. You can use stereo pairs to calculate depth, and in this case, you only lose half your horizontal resolution (vs. losing significant horizontal and vertical

I don't understand how refilling for $0.86 per wash is better than the $0.67 per wash if you use their cartridges? Or how that becomes "75 times cheaper". https://github.com/dekuNukem/bob_cassette_rewinde

I really enjoyed making combinations on the filters to see what (I thought) unlikely combinations existed, and I was happy with what I found (e.g. minimal organic, architecture face). Does the artist apply the labels? Or is classification p

I've been at a number of failed startups. Here are some of the things that hurt or eventually killed us. Note that these can apply to projects within large companies as well. YMMV. * We changed business models so our customers became c

It is not displaying on layers in the block. I have a 15" LookingGlass. The depth appears continuous, not in discrete layers. The field of view is, to me, very wide. I'm not trying to show it to an audience and it is more than eno

Darn, now I'm going to have to go back and re-read Dune considering the worm as a metaphor for the surveillance state. Walk without rhythm!

I really liked _The Thoughts_ section. Before _The Thoughts_, this paragraph in _The Notepad_ caught my eye: > Honestly, I don’t consider the bad memory the younger generations have to be that big of a problem. True, we have to search fo

I meant that I've wondered how much goes from the investors to the VCs (but then not back to the investors) via property rentals. I used "laundering" in the sense of "covering up where the money came from." In my im

I've always imagined it was because the VCs bought the buildings they rent out to the startups, and probably the apartments as well. That makes the bay area a big money laundering machine where cash is guaranteed to flow from the inves

The correct response should have been for credit card holders to sue their credit card companies. We have a relationship with the card companies, and they chose to share data with a third party, so the credit card companies are responsible.

I disagree. A large part of public schooling relates to love/belonging and esteem. Go $mascots! Science fairs, glee club, language clubs. Learning to organize support for causes. Learning to drive (there's a big social network!).

Make sure you include taxes in your "total cost." You will owe taxes this year on the difference between what you pay and the current valuation of the company. Even though your company has not raised money in while, they may (shou

Its not "just" a needle insertion. There's no measurement of how much blood is taken from each crab, so there's no way to know how much damage is done on an individual basis. Imagine any other animal bled this way ( http

One of my favorites is the portrayal of N.I.C.E. director John Wither in "That Hideous Strength" by C. S. Lewis. (especially Chapter 3, "Belbury and St. Anne’s-on-the-Hill") http://fadedpage.com/showbook.

I wonder if, while they're adding encryption, they could also add user-controllable DRM. That way when you post a photo or video, you can specify the rights of (and prices for) those who download it. One of the things that's alway
